Testimonials
“Dr. Upton listened to my individual needs and helped me gain perspective in ways that allowed me to finally make progress after years of struggling.” - Shannon
“I was quite hesitant to start going to counseling at first, but it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I now have strategies to help when I am struggling and Brian encourages me to work throughout the week, not just during sessions. Brian has brought my mental health to places I never thought possible!” - Emily
"Brian helped us save our marriage. He introduced us to healthy ways to communicate and resolve conflict by giving us helpful, practical steps to add to our daily routine.” Mark and Susan
Erik and I talk frequently about our pre-marital counseling and how it set us up for success. We still use all the tools that we learned nearly 8 years ago. We owe many years of marital success to Brian! - Erik and Katelyn
